Evolution Kernels from Splitting Amplitudes
Abstract
We recalculate the next-to-leading order Altarelli-Parisi kernel using a method which relates it to the splitting amplitudes describing the collinear factorization properties of scattering amplitudes. The method breaks up the calculation of the kernel into individual pieces which have an independent physical interpretation.
